About Interstate Waste Services

Interstate Waste Services (IWS) stands as the most progressive and innovative provider of solid waste and recycling services across the greater New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut markets, featuring a rail-served landfill in Ohio. Since our founding in 1998, we have grown through strategic acquisitions, many of which were family-owned businesses that remain integral parts of our team today. This unique evolution allows us to combine the robust resources of a large corporation with the enduring values and care of a family-run business.

We are committed to delivering high-quality waste, recycling, and environmental services while prioritizing the safety of our employees, customers, and communities. Our diverse client base includes industrial, medical, and commercial/residential sectors, requiring a workforce that is adaptable, safety-conscious, and dedicated to excellence.

The Role

This position serves as a vital support pillar within our maintenance operations, bridging the gap between drivers and senior technicians. You will be instrumental in ensuring the reliability and safety of our heavy-duty and light-duty fleet, which includes rear load, front load, roll-off, grapple, and porta-potty trucks.

Your day will involve active collaboration with drivers to complete daily post-trip and vehicle safety inspections, identifying visible issues such as leaks, body damage, or lighting failures. You will perform essential preventative maintenance tasks, including lubrication, fluid top-ups, and tire inspections, while assisting senior technicians with repairs to engines, transmissions, brakes, and electrical systems. Beyond the mechanical work, you will maintain a clean and safe shop environment in compliance with OSHA standards and ensure all repair documentation and parts usage are recorded accurately.

Hiring Process

Candidates selected for this role will be expected to participate in corporation-sponsored training courses to stay current with technology and safety protocols. We are committed to providing reasonable accommodations to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the job.
